Hey guys,
Been reading a lot of threads and learning a lot but would like to get some advice on set ups. Picture the face of a clock and my tree is where the hands attach to the clock where should I be positioned if the deers most likely approach is from the 12 position? Should I be set up behind the tree on the 6 o'clock side or 3 o'clock / 9 o'clock side depending on which side of the tree the trail goes around?
Also, I have the Kestrel and bought Ernies's kit and platform and have the bolts and strap on steps so I'm all set for platforms. I feel a tightness in the hips, not bad at all and assume this is natural when I'm sitting. When I'm leaning that is gone, I assume that is why a lot of guys go for the leaner approach. I've only got two huge trees in my yard so I have to go to my archery club and try out the kestrel for short sessions.
Thanks in advance guys, I hunt on Long Island and I think this will be the solution for me. I've had my strap cut on my stands several times and others stolen just because guys don't want you hunting public land with them.
